Despite a last minute change of plans 7 Goodgymmers met on Mulgrave street, and, armed with litter pickers, headed out into the night.
We focused our efforts along Princes Avenue. At first it seemed that there wasn't too much littered to be collected, but we managed to get a whopping 8 bags!
It was great to be joined by new comer Mark. Not only did we have a great time chatting and picking, but it was great to see how big an impact we had. Well done everyone!

Despite some rather miserable spring weather in Liverpool, 8 dedicated goodgymmers met for our usually Monday night task.
After a quick, 2 mile run, we met lark lane neighbourhood association and headed off down the lane to clear up any and all discarded litter!
We were all quite pleasantly surprised by how clean it appeared and felt like we had to really search for the litter. This meant it was all the more satisfying when we realised we had gathered 7 full bags!
Strangest find goes to Jowho found a fork in the road! (how poetic)
Well done everyone it was clear to see the impact we had!

On a clear bright evening 7 Goodgymers converged at Mulgrave Street. coming from various pounts of the compass they arrived by bikes, walking and running to get to the tranquility of Mulgrave Community Garden.
We were met by Khan who gave us our task today we needed to weed out the unwanted weeds so we left the space and room for the flowers to do their thing now spring is arriving.
There is something so beautifully calming about this space although that didnt stop the nearby streetlight impersonating morse code turning itself on and off.
Three bin bags of weeds later, and not without some chat, and the task was done. The team set out in their varying directions into the frosty night.
A lovely night all is well and we are fine and dandy (lion).

The Pagoda Arts Centre works to be “a big family for those people who have an interest in Chinese culture”, and it was a big Goodgym family who turned up on a bright, chilly February Saturday morning to help prepare for Chinese New Year.
Five of the Goodgymmers met at local Princes Park for Parkrun, then headed straight to the task afterwards (and by headed straight, we of course mean via a local coffee shop to refuel!)
On arrival, a fantastic 14 Goodgymmers had turned up to help out, and introductions were in order as we had three new members who had each separately heard about Goodgym and decided to join us. Welcome Mel, Pri, & Aditi!
With so many willing pairs of hands the team sailed through a number of tasks, to prepare the centre for the Chinese New Year celebrations the following day. We cleared out an alley, moved furniture to make space for the performance, litter picked, swept and cleared leaves and weeds from the exterior, mopped floors, hung decorations, cleaned toilets – you name it, we sorted it! Hidden talents were unmasked when veteran member Sophie casually confirmed which way to hang a Chinese sign, revealing she’d studied Chinese and translating the sign for us. It just goes to show you never know how much people have to offer, and even after all these years Goodgymmers can still surprise us.
In no time the centre was looking clear and refreshed and there was even time for a rare treat of a cuppa together provided by the centres kind staff.
The Pagoda do a huge variety of great work including ESOL lessons, Tai Chi, Orchestra performances and a number of events for the Chinese community, so it was fitting our help was so varied and we were glad to contribute to the fabulous celebrations taking place over the weekend.
Gong hei fat choy!
